THE JOURNAL The relentless globe leaves them to their fate as it turns to a new scene in Venice. A tall dark Italian is passionately serenading a lady draped over a balcony. It is Hilda White. On the next balcony a spook party is holding sway: Helen Crowell, chief medium is producing spirits out of the air to the great interest of her audience:-Eva Lynds, Marguer- ite Concannon, Charlotte Chase, and Bernice Pring. Now a party of nterrymakers sweeps by in a gondola among whom are Rozzy Davol and Betty Freeman, popular debutantes of the season. They are stop- ping by the edge of the canal to purchase flowers of Ida Bird and Alice McRae, when the Emperor of China passes, accompanied by his Chief Cook and Bottle Vllasher, Lawrence Ryan. Close by, in another gondola, Elliott Hathaway and Frank King, fish venders, are trolling for pickerel. But is this Taunton that we see? VVhy, there is a skyscraper where L. E. Higgins' once stood, and is that George Maxwell washing windows on the thirtieth floor! Here comes a parade with mounted policemen at the head, two of whom are old acquaintances, Ester Atkins and Helen McManus. It is a great surprise to Find Dot Dean as mayor, in tall silk hat with the Board of Health, Mildred Rausch, Muriel Cleathero, and Ruth Forsberg, marching at her heels. Next comes the Cobb, Bates, and Yerxa float with Aline B. Petra adorning the top as fairy queen, and Marian Aldrich and Barbara Knox riding gleaming horses, advertising the Tholras Gracia safety razors. Immediately behind them is VVhitman Tillson leading the Odd Fellows' goat. Do our eyes deceive us? A race-track on Vliinthrop Street, and who is participating in that mule race? Hurray! Hilda Grayhurst and Emilie Pollard are a tie! Even the worthy judges, David Faber, Ethel VVerner, and Joanna Majl-:ut are jumping out of their shoes in excitement. Now we see the old assembly hall of T. H. S. Kenneth Garside, the principal, is addressing the pupils on the subject of Rose Tuttle's next lecture on Cosmetics . In the back of the hall stand Gladys VVilliams, teacher of cooking and harmony, and May Travers, teacher of millinery and manual training. Occasionally they glare at an offending freshman. In stalks the janitor, that king of the furnace: the monarch is none other than Charles McCarthy. He lanfents that the furnace invented by VVinthrop Coffin persists in back- firing and desires to call in the veterinary, Albert Dowd, to cure its ills. Mr. flarside breaks off his speech the radio sends in a bedtime story told by Miss Gladys Briggs from the Lincoln-jaskulka piano stores. Then follows a duct by Carolyn Hutchins and Alice Najarian. The pupils are elated, especially when a rousing speech is made by Stanley Baker, president of the Soporific Somnambulistsf' The crystal clears and now the hands of the mystic CmistakeC?Dj are outstretched, waiting to be crossed with silver. VVe have seen our class- mates, one and all. VVhat next? 62
